Last year, Sony's X900E-series 4K TVs were among our top sellers, and made several "Best of the Year" lists. The 2018 X900F series replaces those models, and offers improved picture contrast, black levels, and video processing. If you've not yet experienced the lifelike quality of a 4K/HDR picture, the 55" Sony XBR-55X900F will amaze you.

It's all about the picture

Last year, Sony's X900E-series 4K TVs were among our top sellers, and made several "Best of the Year" lists. The 2018 X900F series replaces those models, and offers improved picture contrast, black levels, and video processing. If you've not yet experienced the lifelike quality of a 4K/HDR picture, the 55" Sony XBR-55X900F will amaze you.

The "secret sauce" is Sony's video processing

What elevates the XBR-55X900F above competing TVs is Sony's unmatched video processing. Their X1™ Extreme chip packs 40% more processing muscle than Sony's original X1 chip. It tackles two tasks: reducing the compression noise common in streamed video and lower-resolution sources, and upscaling every source to near 4K/HDR quality. Picture quality with 4K streamed content and Ultra HD Blu-ray is spectacular, but you don't need a 4K source to be wowed by this TV.

Wide-open color, clarity and contrast

Before HDR came along a few years back, video standards were based on old-school tube TVs with low brightness capabilities. By comparison, HDR-equipped TVs like the XBR-55X900F can display much greater contrast and a wider color spectrum. You'll see a lot of TVs claim HDR compatibility, but the XBR-55X900F's impressive peak brightness and advanced local dimming really demonstrate what all the HDR buzz is about.

The XBR-55X900F's full-array LED backlight produces precisely localized lighting across the entire screen. By dimming some areas of the screen and boosting others, Sony's latest X-tended Dynamic Range PRO™ technology produces a brightness range that's about 6 times wider than what we've been used to with conventional LED-backlit TVs. And Sony's new X-Motion Clarity™ with 120Hz refresh rate takes care of motion blur without dimming picture brightness.

You can tell this TV what you want

The XBR-55X900F's built-in Android operating system lets you easily log in to your Google ID to access a huge collection of apps, games and content from Google Play. Use the Chromecast Built-in feature to stream movies, pictures, and TV shows from your iOS or Android-based phone, or from a laptop.

The remote has a built-in microphone that makes it easy to search for a particular movie or actor just by saying the name. You can ask the built-in Google Assistant to adjust the volume, change channels or inputs, and control other basic TV functions. You can also use it to get answers to everyday questions, control connected smart home devices, and do other voice control tricks with your favorite Google Home- or Alexa-compatible voice control assistant.

Sony XBR-55X900F Reviews

Sony XBR-55X900F

the Sony xbr-55x900f was a nice buy for me at a great price from crutchfield with fast shipping great picture I have brought many sony products from crutchfield over the years and was never disappointed recommended many of my friends and family this time around I was disappointed about the financing from sony financing they offed 24 months interest instead they only give me 6 months after talking to their customer services rep I was told there's nothing they can do to change it call sony finance and see if they would change it I did that and was told they would be happy to do that if crutchfield would change the code why lie about it took three days for them to make up this story to tell me you don't treat a customer for years like this!!! thanks.

Picture quality.

Excellent picture quality and the sound quality is much better than what I was expecting based on the reviews that I read. Anyone wanting sound bar quality sound needs to invest in a sound bar or something similar, you'll never get that out of TV speakers. Also, very quick and easy to setup. Extremely satisfied!
And, as always excellent service by Crutchfield.

Sony XBR-55X900F

Great TV! The Crutchfield folks that assisted me in making this purchase should get a pay raise. I replaced a 12 year old 36" Bravia with this new set. Virtually plug and play. Works great with my other Sony components. I did add the Sony UBP x80o BD which is a great addition as well. Great servive and fast standard delivery. Thanks Crutchfield!

Sony XBR-55X900F

Selected the XBR-55X900F for the bedroom based on the superb video observed from the full array with local dim LED with the XBR-75X940E in our living room under all ambient light conditions. These 4K televisions meet all our demands and expectations for the absolute best in video experiences. Great products for those seeking those same goals.

AWESOME TV!

Absolutely stunning picture when 4K content is being viewed (paired it with a Sony 4K Blu Ray player). Streamed Netflix and watched some of their 4K content as well and it was a WOW moment. The sound could be better but that's pretty much the deal with all flat panels and the reason I paired a solid sound bar with this set as well. The upscaling capabilities of this TV and the price point were the ultimate reasons I went with this particular set. So far so good and still explorer settings to make this the best TV watching experience possible.

Pros:Price
Upscaling capabilities
Brilliant picture

Cons:Sound

Great Tv

This TV picture quality is amazing! I have another Sony XBR 65" Z9 series that was priced for a lot more a year ago and which is absolutely stunning. However, this one is only 10" smaller but a lot cheaper and has about the same level of picture quality.

Product Research

Video Features

4K HDR: For the ultimate in picture quality, this TV pairs
the brilliance of 4K clarity with the brightness, color, and detail of High
Dynamic Range (HDR). Combined with 4K Ultra HD resolution, HDR video content
delivers exceptional detail, color and contrast, with a far wider range of
brightness than other video formats. The result is the most lifelike picture TVs
have ever been able to create, with brilliant highlights and fine detail.

Ultra 4K Resolution: See more on TV than ever before
with over 8 million individual pixels (3,840 x 2,160) compared to about 2
million (1,920 x 1,080) on a1080p HDTV. Its detail is so vivid and crisp,
even when viewed from close distances; it's nearly impossible to discern a
single pixel, even from inches away.

HDR (High Dynamic Range): High Dynamic Range (HDR)
enhances the dynamic range of a picture, increasing the contrast between the
brightest whites and darkest blacks. Every pixel is made more accurate,
regardless of resolution, bringing scenes to life with greater detail. HDR's
greater dynamic range of luminosity or brightness levels brings greater
contrast & wider color spectrum to the screen. This increased contrast
reveals the subtle nuances of the image, from detailed blacks and shadows to
the brightest whites and colors, plus greater depth. Previously hidden areas
of dark shadow and sunlight are now full of clarity and detail. Movies and
TV shows in HDR are closer to the original recording and the director's
vision with more brightness, contrast and color, for a truly lifelike
viewing experience.

HDR 10: HDR 10 is an open standard and currently
the most popular HDR format on the market. It supports 10-bit color and
1,000 nits. It uses static metadata at the start of a movie to tell the
receiver and your TV that the video content is encoded using HDR.

HLG: HLG (Hybrid-Log Gamma) is primarily designed
for live video feed and over-the-air broadcasts. It uses no pre-encoded
metadata and is backwards compatible with SDR. HLG's native
compatibility allows much of today's existing SDR infrastructure to be
re-used for HDR in the future.

Dolby Vision (requires future firmware update - scheduled
for summer 2018): Unlike HDR 10 which contains static metadata
and HLG which uses not metadata, Dolby Vision adjusts brightness, color,
and contrast automatically for each scene. Dynamic metadata carries
information that maps every image to your TV's display capabilities, so
you see more of what the content creator intended.

Note: Please use a premium high speed HDMI cable with 18
Gbps and above to view HDR content.

Super Bit Mapping 4K HDR: Super Bit Mapping 4K HDR
creates a smoother, more natural picture by minimizing its color banding.
With 14-bit powerful signal processing, it breaks up the solid bands of
color of an 8-bit or 10-bit source, up-converting to 14-bit equivalent
gradation, with 64x more color levels. It delivers graceful reproduction of
faces, sunsets, and other areas of subtle color. It creates smooth, natural
4K TV picture quality as you watch, without the "banding" that can occur on
other TVs.

Precision Color Mapping: Precision Color Mapping
independently analyzes every scene and pixel so the perfect shade and tone
are applied dynamically for rich, natural colors. It enhances and optimizes
colors individually and finely in real time. It controls every color
perfectly for rich and natural results.

Object-Based HDR Remaster: With Object-based HDR
remaster, the color in individual objects on screen is analyzed and the
contrast adjusted; unlike most TVs where contrast is only adjusted along one
black-to-white contrast curve. Because objects are remastered individually,
this TV can reproduce greater depth, textures, and more realistic pictures.
By analyzing the objects in each scene individually, Object-based HDR
remaster optimizes and enhances color and contrast. It brings everything you
watch closer to the quality of HDR. Dark elements get darker, bright
elements brighter, and everything in between is more accurately lit, for
realism in every scene never-before-possible on our TVs. You'll see contours
on mountains, hidden textures on flowers, depth in clouds, and wildlife has
the contrast and color of nature, for a more natural and realistic picture
on screen.

Dynamic Contrast Enhancer: The Dynamic Contrast
Enhancer optimizes the range of brightness frame-by-frame according to
what's happening on screen to reproduce deeper blacks, brighter whites, and
more video color.

4K X-Reality Pro Upscaler w/ Dual Database Processing: Sony's 4K X-Reality Pro Upscaler
w/ Dual Database Processing enhances Ultra-HD, HD, and SD images by analyzing
and refining images with beautifully natural detail and clarity. One database is
used to clean the picture, reducing on-screen noise. The other is used to
upscale the resolution, improving clarity. These two powerful image improvement
databases work together, dynamically improving pixels in real time. Each
database has tens of thousands of references, amassed from our experience
creating content for TV and movies over the years. With 4K X-Reality PRO and
Dual Database Processing, every image is upscaled closer to true 4K quality for remarkable clarity. This 4K television upscales
your favorite TV shows, DVD and Blu-ray movies, even video-on-demand content,
and smartphone videos to Ultra-HD.

Noise Reduction Database: Compressed noise is identified by the
database, which includes "before and after" data on what a picture should
look like and removes the compressed picture noise

Upscaling Database: The upscaling database also includes "before
and after" data, which is used to upscale the signal and create a more
realistic picture

TRILUMINOS Display: Unique to Sony, a TRILUMINOS Display
with its specially developed backlight selectively maps colors across a wider
gamut, ensuring subtle colors do not become oversaturated and unnatural. You'll
enjoy vivid, authentic images that evoke the emotion in every scene. TRILUMINOS Display
uses a wider color spectrum than a
conventional flat-panel TV display. A TRILUMINOS Display excels at reproducing reds,
greens, and blues; colors that are notoriously difficult for TVs to display
accurately. It also displays skin tones beautifully, thanks to its extensive
color palette and precise gradation.

X-tended Dynamic Range Pro (6x): X-tended Dynamic Range PRO lets you
enjoy beautiful night shots, full of dazzling lights and deeper blacks. With up
to 6x the contrast of conventional LED-LCD TVs, this 4K HDR TV with X-tended
Dynamic Range PRO ensures dark scenes are darker and bright scenes brighter. By
precisely balancing the light output across the screen, dimming some areas and
boosting others, X-tended Dynamic Range PRO reveals a brightness range 6x that
of a conventional LED-LCD TV. It enhances any source to near HDR quality with a
wider range of brightness.

X-Motion Clarity: On some screens, sports and fast action scenes can
seem to go by in a blur. Sony's latest X-Motion Clarity technology keeps
everything smooth, bright and clear. Each "blink" is individually controlled and
its duration optimized, while brightness is boosted when needed, so you won't
miss a thing. X-Motion Clarity technology keeps fast action smooth and clear.
Moving images are precisely controlled to minimize blur. Even during high speed
scenes, pictures stay true with no loss in brightness.

HDMI 2.0a: The Ultra-HD TV is fitted with four HDMI
2.0a inputs to connect your Ultra-HD/HDR and HD sources; such as Ultra
Blu-ray, Blu-ray, Satellite/Cable and Playstation. In addition, any HDMI
input can be used to connect a PC to this TV. The HDMI inputs will accept
4K, 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals. HDMI inputs 2 & 3 will do 4K
(60Hz), while HDMI inputs 1 & 4 will only support 4K (30/24Hz).

HDCP 2.2: HDCP 2.2 is supported by all of the TV's
HDMI inputs. HDCP 2.2 is short for "High bandwidth Digital Content
Protection" and is used for 4K video copyright protection for
compatibility with Ultra HD Blu-ray players and 4K Satellite/Cable
providers.

4:4:4 Color Subsampling: All four HDMI inputs will
support up to 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for full color data rendering of
4K video (30/60fps). 4:2:2 (30/60fps) and 4:2:0 (60fps) are also
supported by all HDMI inputs. With 4:4:4 color, luminance (brightness)
and chroma (color) are sampled at the same rate, resulting in an RGB
color palette as big as the video sampling rate for a video image with
more total colors, plus greater color accuracy and detail.

3.5mm AV Input: In addition to HDMI connectivity, there
is also a 3.5mm AV input for connection of an analog audio/video component.
There are no standard composite or component video inputs.

Note: The TV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and
Clear QAM tuners with an RF-coaxial input, so you don't need a
separate set-top box to receive and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or
unencrypted Digital Cable signals.

Screen Modes: The Screen Modes feature allows you to
select the screen display which fits the current video image and TV screen
best. Choose from Wide Zoom, Normal, Full, Zoom, or Auto Wide. Based on the
original signal source, you may see black bars around the picture or just on
the both sides of the screen. Sometimes you will see the picture fill the
full screen.

Picture Modes: You can select one of the following
picture modes - Standard, Vivid, Cinema (Pro/Home), Sports, Animation, Photo
(Standard/Vivid/Custom), Game, or Custom.

Light Sensor & Advanced Contrast Enhancer (ACE): The TV's
built-in Light Sensor automatically adjusts the picture brightness based on the
amount of light in the room. As a result, you can enjoy automatic customized
picture brightness and save energy without lifting a finger. The televisions
Advance Contrast Enhancer (ACE) automatically adjusts backlight and contrast to
the most suitable setting judging from the brightness of the screen. This
setting is especially effective for dark scenes, and will increase the contrast
distinction for the darker picture scenes.

Live Color Technology: Powered by an image processor using an
algorithm specially developed by Sony, Live Color is able to reproduce
incredibly vivid colors on screen. With four user-adjustable settings available
(High/Medium/Low/Off),
you can choose just how vivid you want your images to be. Whether it's a
brilliant blue sky or a bright red rose, everything stands out so much more with
Live Color.

24pTrue Cinema (24p Input Capability): Many movies are
filmed at 24 frames per second (fps) and prime time TV programs are video taped
at 24p. Seizing on an opportunity, some studios are taking a purist approach and
encoding high definition video content such as Blu-ray Disc in 24p. Sony wisely
takes advantage of this by including 24p input capability via HDMI on this
television producing images that are smooth and natural looking.

Audio Features

ARC (Audio Return Channel): The Audio Return Channel within
the television's HDMI 3 input enables the TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send
audio data "upstream" to an A/V receiver; increasing user flexibility and
eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection. This feature
allows audio to be sent from the television to your A/V receiver through the
same HDMI cable already being used to send audio/video to the television. This
eliminates the need for extra cables connected to the TV. ARC allows audio from
the TV tuner, Network connection, inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any
analog connected device to be heard through your ARC compatible AV receiver via
the television's HDMI ARC input.

Note: Both the television and the receiver must support
ARC for this function to work properly. When connecting an AV receiver that
is compatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC), connect it to the TV's HDMI 3
input. If connecting a system that is incompatible Audio Return Channel
(ARC), an additional audio connection via Digital Audio Out (Optical) is
necessary.

Headphone/Analog Output: The TV's 3.5mm analog output
can be used to connect a set of headphones or as an audio output to connect
your home theater receiver or soundbar system. You will need a
minijack-to-RCA adapter (sold separately) to make a stereo RCA connection
between the television and your AV receiver. The TV's analog audio output
terminal will output 2ch audio from any of the television's source inputs.
You can set the TV's analog output to Fixed or Variable.

Bluetooth A2DP:
The TV supports
Bluetooth A2DP, allowing you to stream audio from the
television's built-in and connected sources to a Bluetooth-enabled set of
headphones or speakers (only one headphone, one speaker, or one pair of
speakers can be connected). Bluetooth headphone volume level can be controlled from both the TV's remote and headphones.
AV Sync allows you to adjust the delay between the picture and sound. Sony doesn't guarantee compatibility with all models of Bluetooth
headphones.

Note: You can setup the TV to output sound from the TV speakers, the
headphone output, and Bluetooth at the same time (this does not include the
optical digital output or when the analog output is not set to headphone). Or,
you can setup the TV to only output audio from a single output terminal.

Clear Phase: Sony uses a powerful computer model to analyze
and compensate for inaccuracies in speaker response. It does this by "sampling"
the speaker frequency with higher precision. This information is fed back to
cancel out any peaks or dips in the speaker's natural response; resulting in
pure, natural audio with smooth, even reproduction of all frequencies.

EQ: The TV offers four EQ preset sound modes - Standard,
Cinema, Music, and Sports. The TV is also equipped with a 7-band EQ
(125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, 4kHz, 8kHz). You can adjust the level of each
band between -12 to +12 dB.

Volume Offset & Auto Volume: Volume Offset adjusts the
volume level of the current input relative to other inputs. The Advanced Auto
Volume function keeps the volume level constant across all programs and
advertisements.

TV Position: The speakers of this TV provide different sound
images according to how you position the television. You can select between
"Table-Top Stand" or "Wall Mount" to provide the best sound quality based on the
television's placement.

Yes, there is visual improvement to standard content. The colors burst and the quality is good. It's probably equivalent to a 1040 picture that has been professionally calibrated.

The LG Oled is not nearly as bright as the Sony 900F and can have burn in issues. If you like a bright picture with pop, go with the Sony.
[ jim Mar 16, 2018 ]

I chose the LG OLEDB7A over the Sony LED based on reviews and am glad I did. The LG has the most life like picture I've ever seen. It is hard to describe how much better it is than a LED unit. All though the Sony units are the best of the LED based TV's.
[ JAMES Mar 14, 2018 ]

As far as picture quality, OLED can not be beaten. True black like plasma could achieve simply is not experienced with any other LED TV. Including this Sony. They (Sony) make great products and they have a name, but LG OLED TVs can't be beaten. In fact, event their OLED TVs use panels made by LG. Plus when you see just his thin the LG OLEDs are you will be amazed. Consider too, that for just a few hundred extra you can now get the 65" OLED. Money well spent if the best picture quality is what you seek.
[ Justin-Barry Mar 14, 2018 ]

These sets have different display technology. The Sony is LED while the LG is an OLED. OLED offers complete blacks while LEDs do not. I have the LG set and have been extremely pleased with the picture and performance.
[ Jared Mar 14, 2018 ]

I do not know what the difference is.
[ theodore Mar 14, 2018 ]

Can't help, don't own that Sony model, but the lg model I own has a great picture, only problem with the lg is in a bright room there is a glare or a reflection on the screen.
